Faster WordPress Site With Cloudways and WPMU DEV Plugins

SEO Tips, Wordpress No Comment

wordpress-pluginsI Made My WordPress Site 1311% Faster With Cloudways and WPMU DEV Plugins..

I received a 1311% speed hike by installing on my server Cloudways controlled cloud hosting in association with Hummingbird & Smush Pro plugins. Ever since Hummingbird was introduced we have compiled so many new ideas. Take a peek at the project page to discover every latest feature. Look out for Hummingbird.

You were fed into thinking that optimizing your portal for speed is vital. Ultimately 40% of persons won’t spare 3 seconds for the loading of your front page, whereas Google sets a time of 2 seconds for loading of your site, but you should actually go for 500ms for the maximum SERP ranking.

However, really attaining quick page speeds is extremely deceptive and time taking. I ponder, what the thing a render blocking resource is? (Certainly, that’s a pompous question, but do you recollect the time when you first encountered it on Google PageSpeed Insights?)

Hence, on being asked to evaluate Cloudways’ administered hosting service, I was doubtful. The reality is, I dislike writing reviews on item I don’t prefer, I simply can’t perform such a task, therefore I informed Cloudways that  if anything didn’t convince me I would let it be known to them. However, they presented me with a test account somehow…. and to my surprise…and let truth prevail, I was unbelievably thrilled when I viewed the pace at which my demo website functioned speedily after adding our Hummingbird & Smush Pro plugins to the lot.

Hence, let’s take the challenge. This is how I kick started my portal 1311% quicker employing cloud hosting with Cloudways and also our Hummingbird and WP Smush Pro plugins,- and how my web pages loaded at the bat of an eyelid (within 300 to 400 milliseconds)

Cloudways controlled Cloud Hosting: Why it deserves a look

Cloud hosting comprises the perfect way to pace up your portal as you rely on a group of clusters instead of merely one. This implies that if you instantly require different resources to run your site as quick as the Flash, you can fall back on various servers within the cloud.

The option isn’t too bright as both your site and server would totally shut down after your resources dry out. This isn’t the case with cloud hosting.

The huge distinction between Cloudways and the bigger cloud hosting interfaces present, like Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Compute Engine (GCE), is that Cloudways acts as the connector between the leading hosts.

If you typically desire to configure your site on AWS or GCE, it would involve long duration and technical expertise, besides the quantum of effort needed to build a WordPress portal on a conventional server. No, I’m referring to the type of initiative which drives professional developers shaky and worried at the idea of hosting a cluster in the cloud.

Cloudways manages it all for you. You simply need to pick a WordPress single or Multisite set up from the catalogue of available programs, input a name for your server, and select between Digital Ocean, Vultr, AWS and GCE.

Once you’re done with your options, your fresh cloud server is installed in only 15 minutes or even less. Incredible!

As we are dealing with cloud hosting, apart from super fast server speeds, Cloudways offers plenty of other features not available with other hosting services. These are a few which distinguish Cloudways from its rivals.

Managed and Safe

You obtain the advantage of quick and reliable supervised cloud hosting with facility to automatically update your server immediately. Above all, you can make a cloud server operational with only a few clicks, and you don’t need to bother about securing your service. Additionally, you are secured with a firewall also.

Although its managed, you still avail total control of your site, its settings and which plugins you wish to set up on your WordPress portal.

SSL Certificate Install with single click

Free SSL certificates are present which you can install on your site with a single click. The certificates provider, Let’s Encrypt is a reputed and dependable open source certificate authority. Cloudways allows you to install a free SSL certificate to secure and encrypt the link between your portal and your users’ browsers. The installed certificates prevent hackers from accessing your site and steal your clients’ personal information.

While WordPress is secure in itself, it’s still vital for all WordPress portals to possess a SSL certificate as forms such as login form can be exploited in even a default set up. Though it’s not compulsory to carry one, but as its safely available for free, you should use the opportunity to secure your portal.

FTPS & SFTP: Safe and Ready

Even if you don’t set up an SSL certificate, you still gain access to file transfer protocol secure (FTPS) and SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP). This keeps your connection at the time of moving files to and from your portal encrypted for maximum security.

I can’t tell about all hosting companies, but this normally isn’t an alternative unless you choose to install an SSL certificate by yourself.

You obtain a Static IP Address

Cloud hosting normally provides a dynamic IP address, which alters your site’s IP frequently when you upgrade or draw more resources to keep your portal operational. This removes many alternatives for running your site like domain mapping or setting up cPanel.

Cloudways automatically empowers an IP address to each server allowing you to enjoy the advantages of possessing a static IP while hosting your portal on the cloud at the same time.

If you require a dedicated IP address, you can speedily add a fresh server for a paltry sum of 5 dollars and put up your portal there. Bigger server sizes are also there in case you need more space to wiggle.

And though you can’t set up cPanel with Cloudways, its interface namely Platform substitutes cPanel, so you don’t miss out when you opt to send your portal to the cloud.

After over two years of research we chose Simplio. We are so far very satisfied. These people answered the phone on a Sunday and fixed a problem that was not even their fault. It was the host company which I had chosen that had caused our site to go down.

Outstanding in both knowledge and professionalism.

They are now part of the Diastasis Rehab business team after working with them almost a year now. I cannot even imagine having another company managing my Presta shopping cart. After a bad experience with a programmer, I needed a new programmer (one that knew prestashop shopping cart) and most important one that I could trust. Finding all three was a difficult process! Lucky for me I found them. I cannot say enough about the diversity of services that this company provides. Every step of the way they make amazing suggestions to increase my sales and they get back to be right away either by email or phone. They have even created a simple and easy check out program for Presta Shop. They are actually a one stop shop! They updated my SSL, are setting up and changing my server to a dedicated one, setting up streaming of my DVD, website design, creating a specific program for address verification on Presta cart and handled the integration of Presta cart with my fulfillment house. I am now working on developing an APP with them

Simplio really helped me out of a jam.
